Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data ? but they do help fund this free forum. So we hope you choose to switch it on. See the full Skimlinks factsheet for more.

Please make a competition thread as normal on the main board (see here if you don't know how to do this). Please start your thread with an A: instead of the usual E: to the title of your thread. Please also try and keep your title brief, we don't need to know "wiin various prizes" or anything like that, keep it short and sweet ie :

A : 24/12 Thorntons (TW/FB/Daily)

Then add a link to the competition thread you have just created to the end of this thread (more info on this below, please keep reading).

So, Please follow this format when posting a link here:

A: ??/?? Site name or company running the comp (how to enter if not web)

That's all we need.

To create the clickable link:

(you may find it easier to have two pages open, one for the competition thread you have just created and the other for this Advent thread)
Copy the address of the competition which you created on the main board (highlight it, right click and 'copy')

In this thread type out the A: ??/?? Site name or company running the comp
Highlight the whole line of the text you've just created
Click on the little world symbol above your text (if you hover over this it says 'insert link)
A box pops up
Paste your copied link into this box - you only need one http://. It's best to delete the one that comes up automatically before you paste your link.
Click ok
Then you can post it, BUT not before you've told me which section it should be placed in. This will save me a lot of time opening all the links, so I'd be really grateful if you could all try and do this.

If there are any posts in here where the user has not posted a thread on the main board I'd be grateful if someone could make one and then post the link to here. .

New competitions will be added to the top of the relevant section, so please check the top of each section for newly added comps.

When comps have closed I will use the red strikethrough rather and move them to a section at the bottom of the post called "Expired". This makes it easier next year when people want to check which comps are running again.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T DUPLICATE ANY ENTRIES AS SOME MIGHT BE LISTED IN DAILIES/WEEKLIES TOO

To subscribe to this thread - click 'Thread Tools' on the green bar at the top of this post then 'subscribe to this thread'. Select whether you want email notifications or not, then click 'add subscription'.

Any advents with a daily / weekly prize with a value of £100 or over should also be posted in this thread (this allows people with not much time on a particular day to enter the better competitions that day.

Good luck everyone!

Any mistakes as far as dates, or which category a post is in, fire me a PM and I'll update.

'What day is it?' asked Pooh 'It's today' squeaked Piglet, 'My favorite day' said Pooh As the old saying goes, dogs/cats are not just for Christmas, please take time to understand how much commitment is needed before taking one on or buying/giving one for a christmas present x

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
